CSC Receives XCelent Award for GraphTalk A.I.A
News Release -- January 24, 2012
ALDERSHOT, U.K., 24 January 2012 – CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced its GraphTalk A.I.A software has won the XCelent Customer Base 2011 award for a leading customer base score in Celent’s review of life insurance policy administration systems (PAS) for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) market. Celent profiled 22 policy administration systems that met the eligibility criteria in the recently published report, EMEA Policy Administration Systems 2011: Life and Pension ABCD Vendor View. Celent’s proprietary framework is used to comparatively view the vendor marketplace in four dimensions – advanced technology and technical flexibility, breadth of functionality, customer base and depth of client services. Vendors that scored highest in each dimension received the XCelent accolade.
“CSC is one of a few select vendors that have made their mark by offering both geographical expertise as well as a fully functional system with a broad customer following,” said Nicolas Michellod, senior analyst at Celent and co-author of the report. “CSC offers an attractive, capable system that has been proven at scale across multiple geographies. Insurers with requirements for general insurance and health lines of business may also want to include CSC’s GraphTalk A.I.A. on their shortlist, as it also covers these business areas.”
